Express Entry Medical Exam Timeline and Cost

[s3nr1]

Hi, how long does it usually take from the day you see a Panel Doctor and you being able to submit whatever the EE needs to submit your application?

And average cost, from my age (33), I'm required to do all the tests. Including blood and xray. I think I'm fairly healthy and not on any medication. I also have group insurance, would this cover it?

• The fee for the doctor or radiologist
• any special tests, investigations or treatment needed
• any specialists you need to see

I'm living in Ottawa, for anyone with experience with this, any place that you can recommend? Is there usually a long wait time to get an appointment seeing how few these panel drs are? I left messages already on most of them but I'd like to know what I'll be expecting tomorrow. Thanks!

Thanks!

The panel doctor is the one who submits the medical (uploads the results).

Assume group insurance will not cover the costs of the medical since it's required for immigration purposes rather than being a necessary procedure for your health.

You can usually get an appointment relatively quickly.
